Police in Narok are investigating the murder of a 20-year-old female Maasai Mara University student whose body was discovered in a bush a day after she went missing.

Police suspect that the deceased was raped before being murdered. Fingers point at boda boda riders accused of often preying on university students going home after partying in nightclubs.

Narok County police boss Kizito Mutoro said the incident was reported by members of the public who saw the body in the Macedonia area in Narok town.

“When police officers visited the scene they found the body of Adah Nyambura Ameru age 20 who is a first-year student at Maasai Mara University. The body was lying in a bush half naked with minor bruises on the face," Mutoro said.

A police OB report 15/30/04/2023 indicated that Nyambura was reported missing by her boyfriend Brian Kimutai age 23, also a student.

Kimutai said that Nyambura went missing on Saturday morning at 0300hrs after partying at Elevate nightclub.

The scene was processed by crime scene detectives and the body was later moved to Narok County referral hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem.

The incident has sparked outrage among students who gave police a two-day ultimatum to apprehend the suspect(s) as the murder was one of the many criminal incidents where varsity students have been victims.
